THE GLADSTONE TESTIMONIAL
who read his speech, while Gladstone replied
extemporaneously. In the course of his re-
marks Gladstone said the Conservative and
Unionist opposition had offered no objection
when money had been sent to the Irish ten
ants with which to buy food and pay their
rents but had protested with much show of
Indignation the moment Americans contrib
uted money to aid the people of Ireland in
turthering agitation in favor of a constitu-
tional government for Ireland, ignoring the
fact that England had interfered everywhere
throughout the world
Gladstone reiterated his objections to the
provisions of the coercion bill which, he said,
Americans would never tolerate, and ex-
pressed regret that Americas visitors to Eng
land should witness such spectacle as parlia-
ment forcing the bill through in spite of old
traditions and the fact that two recent cleo
lions showed change in the electors equaling
IL per centum. If the revulsion indicated by
these elections were general the position of
the Conservative and Liberal parties would
be easily reversed Mr. and Mrs Gladstone

AROUND CASTLE GARDEN.
The Vast baggage Depots-Italians and
Irish-Mulberry Street.

Irish-Mulberry Street.
] put in the afternoon the other day at
Castle Garden, and the view was novel
There is first the great rotunda, which the
immigrants enter directly from the steamer;
on each flank of this are the halls and rooms
for separating and classifying them, and the
vast baggage depots. Provision stands sup
ply food at rates prescribed by the commits
sioners, generally cheaper than in the city
outside; interpreters for the principal Ian
guages stand ready to give information, and
in the center is the bank where foreign money
is exchanged for American at trifiing cost.
Between the rotunda and the park are the
offices, where the name, race and destination
of each immigrant is enrolled; the post office,
where the names are loudly called from time
to time of those whom letters await, and the
various rooms for washing and other pur-
poses. All sick persons are sent to Wards
Island TO hospital. Missionaries, agents of
benevolent societies, hotel runners and news
paper men have the freedom of the floor
under prescribed rules; and all the officials
are polite and prompt in giving information.
All around the rotunda are groups Of immi-
grants, the Italians predominating; for most
u tuc Ii ibh met ny anu
ances, and only remain long enough to get
their baggage passed.
Imagine, if you can Il cannot describe it),
the amusing and affecting scenes, as the Irish
long in this country meet the new arrived
the ardent embraces, the poetic expressions
of endearment, the smiles, the laughter, the
tears. The Italians appear dull and uninter-
esting; those longest in this city seem as
much like foreigners as those just arrived
They are nearly all from the south of Italy;
nearly all took ship at Naples, and are dis
tressingly swarthy and-well, in plain Ian
guage, dirty. Now and then Piedmonter or
Venetian appears, like white Bostonian
among a lot of quadroons. As the brown
Napolese go up town their appearance is dis
tressing, especially the women; but those
resident on Mulberry street look even worse.
